ART PHILOSOPHY:

I believe we are all born creative beings and
through a series of left brain experiences we are taught,
and we learn, to be less and less creative
My goal as an artist is to recapture the pure,
free spirit of creation I experienced as a young child
and to seek ways to personally celebrate and share that spirit.
